    I didn't quite hear her response, but I don't think she meant increasing the size of the military (did she?)

    And yet arguably leading in the polls nationally... I feel like we've been saying he's done for 6 months, and he still isn't done.

    It's the 65+ vote. I just don't get it.

    Bernie is absolutely killing it tonight. What else is new?

    I don't know. Im pretty antimilitary industry complex but my attitude has changed on serving. I work with lots of people from the military and I feel for many technical professions it prepares people for the job market better than school does.

    Old people feel comfortable with Joe. Interestingly, they also feel comfortable with Pete.

    It's the youth vote. I just don't get it. :)

    That fresh Obama glow is wearing off fast. He is wasting everyone's time with his corporate BS mantra and 1980's policies. So moderate so sleepy.

    What profession is that?

    We need to be cutting our military spending, not expanding it. The discrepancy between spending on military vs education is already ridiculous.

    If he's not in jail during the debates, Trump will talk circles around Joe in any presidential debate. Hell, even if he's in jail, he'll do that.

    Is it? I don't see that his poll numbers are changing much. If anything he's gained a point or two in the last month. I'd rather have someone else myself, but there are a lot of people who prefer Joe.

    Pretty much anything technical or trade skill wise. Mechanics, electronic techs, aviation techs, radar techs, nuke sub techs, machinists, and various other shop jobs. All fantastic workers with great skills. The military teaches things like team work, discipline, time management and personal management. I totally agree with your point in general but there is a balance. There is plenty of military waste to cut but I would recommend anyone who is looking for direction to look at the military in one of these types of skill sets.

    Once they figure out Buttigieg is better Biden than Biden is he will get their vote. Name recognition and corporate sponsorship is keeping him floating. He is personally doing everything he can to lose. It wont last and last I checked Warren was leading.

    Doesn't scholastic team sports pretty much do the same thing?

    Sure for the people who participate, but not nearly as well as the military on a broader scale.

    Sports does not teach you how to fix a robot either. School can but not everyone is right for school. Honestly the people I work with who are fresh out of school are soft. The military folks are reliable and solid right out of the gates.

    I'm in favor of that happening.

    Check again. Of the 3 major national polls in the last week, Warren was leading one by 3 points, Biden was leading the other 2 by 12 points.

    "Tulsi Gabbard is the Democrat for people who hate Democrats."

    Her closing statement, though, is like Marianne Williamson took control of Tulsi's body

    I legit want to donate to Bernie's campaign.

    Dude, Joe. Speak about what you'd do, not what Barack did.

    I kinda feel like donating to Booker. I really want him to continue. Maybe just cause he's funny and likable.
